Ingredients:

  • 6 roma tomatoes (medium-large size makes a nice serving.), cut in half length-wise and cored as shown in my illustration. reserve the pulp and juice.
  • 3 tbsp finely chopped basil
  • finely chop the following herbs : 6 small chives , 3 garlic cloves, 1 nice sprig of rosemary), this should yield about 2 tbsp total of these herbs, as shown in my illustration.
  • 1 large shallot, finely chopped , as shown in my illustration
  • 1 slice of pancetta , 1/8 of an inch thick is what i used, as shown in my illustration
  • 3 tbsp italian bread crumbs to sprinkle on top of the filled tomatoes
  • extra virgin oil to drizzle on top of the filled tomatoes.
  • easy fingerling potatoes recipe
  • i first drizzled extra virgin olive oil, seasonsed them with salt, pepper and garlic powder, tossed them in the herbs until they were thoroughly coated with the herbs then roasted them in a 350 degree oven until they were tender. they cook rather quickly because they are tiny.

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Cut the tomatoes in half length-wise as shown in my illustration. With a spoon, hollow out each tomato half and remember to reserve the pulp and juice for later use.
  3. On medium heat, sauté the pancetta until browned, approximately 3 minutes.
  4. Add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until tender.
  5. Next add the mushrooms and sauté for another minute, stirring frequently, and then add the butter and sauté for another1 minute to make sure the butter and the other ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
  6. Mix in the chopped herb mixture with the exception of the basil and cook for another minute until the herbs are thoroughly incorporated.
  7. Add the bread crumbs and about 6 tablespoons of some of the tomato juice from the cored tomatoes. I reserved the remaining tomato pulp by putting in a freezer bag and placed it in my freezer to add to another recipe. I do this step to add a little moisture and flavor. The stuffing should not be too moist.
  8. Remove the mushroom mixture from the heat and let cool for about 15 minutes before filling the tomatoes.
  9. After the filling has cooled, you are now ready to fill the tomatoes. I filled my tomatoes with about 1 1/2 tbls of the mushroom mixture. After they were all filled, I sprinkled a couple of pinches of the Italian bread crumbs on top of each tomato then drizzled each of them with a little of the olive oil. Bake until the tomatoes just become tender, about 20 minutes. These stuffed tomatoes are hearty enough to have as a main course with another side dish and salad. Roasting tomatoes gives them an intense flavor and with the filling they are extra delicious. Enjoy! ;o)
